MARENEM INC v. JUMP

Filing 28

ORDER granting 26 Motion to Stay. Ordered by Judge Hugh Lawson on 3/1/2013. (nbp)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
MACON DIVISION
MARENEM, INC.,
Plaintiff,

Civil Action No. 5:12-CV-212 (HL)

v.
DEANNA C. JUMP,
Defendant.

ORDER
This case is before the Court on a Joint Motion to Stay Deposition
Discovery. (Doc. 26).
While the Court grants the motion, it points out that during the telephone
conference held in this case on February 6, 2013, the Court raised the issue of
whether the case should be stayed in light of the pending motion for summary
judgment. At that time, neither party requested a stay, and the Court told the
parties that it did not intend to stay the case. However, people are allowed to
change their minds, and the Court agrees that it is economically prudent to
reserve deposition discovery until after the pending motion is decided.
In the event the Court denies Defendant’s pending motion, discovery shall
recommence and be completed within 60 days after the entry of the order
denying the motion. Except as otherwise modified by this Order, all other terms

of the Scheduling and Discovery Order entered on November 6, 2012 shall
remain in effect.
SO ORDERED, this the 1st day of March, 2013.
s/Hugh Lawson
HUGH LAWSON, SENIOR JUDGE
